Waiting...

 An old friend and I were brainstorming yesterday....thinking about having a cut-a-thon at my church to raise some money for the adoption.  I hope it works.  Maybe we'll do it closer to the holidays.  I have some great friends who happen to be stylists that have promised to help!  I think Alex, Ava and me will have fun making and delivering fliers around the neighborhood.  I'll start working on the design--that ought to keep me busy...I get so anxious for something to happen!


I ordered two more books for my library from half.com(cheap!)--I am trying to learn as much as I can about parenting a deaf child.  I am learning things such as how to make him feel completely connected as the rest of us 'hearing' family members are having conversations.  I am learning that I need to make things more visual around the house too. Eye contact and body language is extremely important.  I will keep learning as much as I can while I wait...


Waiting is so hard.  I look at his little video almost daily!  I keep checking to make sure he is still there.  The ladies at CWA tell me not to worry.  That IF God ordains it, he will see it through making everything come at the right time.  In my flesh, I still want to 'put a rush on it'.  I can't help it.  I just keep thinking about the potential that is out there waiting for him to grasp and learn!  Sigh....I  am not good at waiting!
